Commentary Sunnybank Hills is an outer southern Brisbane suburb and is even more elevated than its neighbour Sunnybank.

The suburb boasts its own private hospital and railway station. It is also close to the Nathan campus of Griffith University and the world-class ANZ Stadium.

This elevated leafy modern suburb is located 14 kilometres south of Brisbane's central business district. It is also one of Brisbane's largest suburbs in terms of population.

The suburb has grown significantly over the past 20 years. The catalyst for much of the growth was the construction of the Southeast Freeway to Mains Road during the late 1970s, which resulted in Sunnybank Hills being easily accessible to the Brisbane's central business district.

Sunnybank Hills' housing styles tend to be about 25 years old low set and high set brick - as well as timber homes. Ex-housing commission weatherboard post-war homes dating back to the original settlement are also available. There are more modern brick and tile homes in Sunnybank Hills than any other style.

The suburb is serviced by several shopping centres, which include the extensive Sunnybank Hills Shopping Town. Several primary schools and a city council library are some of the other community facilities that also service the suburb.

There are regular Cityexpress services to the Brisbane CBD and the northern portion of the suburb is serviced by the Citytrain rail service at Sunnybank station.
